THE WORLD'S FIRST WIFI- EMITTING LIGHTBULB INVENTED BY CHINESE SCIENTIST.

A group of Chinese scientist have invented the world's first lightbulb that emits it own wifi signal.
Researcher at Fudan University in Shanghai, have developed a prototype for a new technology, which they've aptly named Li-Fi.
Experts claims the micro-chipped LED bulbs works even better that the average wireless internet connection in China.
As many as four devices near the lightbulb can connect to its signals using light frequencies instead of radio waves according to Gizmodo

The bulb itself is embedded with a microchip that produces its signals, which at 150 megabites per second, is considerable faster than the average wifi connection in the country.
Next month researchers will unveil 10 samples lightbulbs and their accompanying kits at the International  Industry Fair in Shanghai.
Expert suggest that this faster, cheaper and more energy efficient way of connecting to the internet could become the common practices in China homes, where more and more people are abandoning traditional lightbulbs in favour of LEDs.
Li-Fi reportedly use 5% of the energy required to power other wifi-emitting devices which rely on cooling systems to supply internet to cell towers and stations.
Though the new technology is well suited to the country's changing technological trends, developers have encountered problems in its design and manufacturing, with particular difficulty being found in the microchip.
Moreover, the connection is lost if the light is turned off or if its bulb is blocked, according to technology expert Dvice.
